I have a confession. Today I went to the Hillsdale College bookstore. Instead of coming out with a new sweater or something of that nature I came out with...books!! Several of them. From a bookstore! Holy crap, who does that?!? And, here's the nerdy part, they were not even for any classes. They were just for fun!! To demonstrate how "fun" they are, I shall name them and give a brief description!!
"The Law" by Frederic Bastiat, famous economist who also wrote about laws, politics, and ethics.
"The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot" by Russell Kirk. Gives a chronology of famous conservative thinkers throughout time.
And the next 3 are specifically published by The Hillsdale College Press, where famous people, professors, etc. write essays or academic papers on certain topics.
"Between Power and Liberty: Economics and the Law."
"Man and State: Religion, Society, and the Constitution."
"America's Entitlement Society."
Ohmy!Ohmy!
I am still sometimes shocked at my level or dorkiness.
[SO EXCITED TO READ THESE!!!!]

have played with the idea of spending a day,
in the WSU bookstore, and buying interesting books.
ummmmlyssiepants...
ReplyDeletewhere are you going to put those books once we get an apartment (because staying here is my new thing). maybe in a box, under a bed...so no one sees.
or on a bookshelf..with really smart books...so we look smarty. yeah!! i like that one!!
I have lots of smartysmarty books from Hillsdale! Yeah! We'll display them! But you know 95% of the time we will not be doing smarty things....because playing and being children of the darkness is better.
